VFL Wolfsburg Vs. Everton FC - Europa League Grp H - Thursday 27th Nov - 18:00KO

[Garrick]

So do we bring out the U18 squad vs Krasnodar? What about calling in the Ladies side?

A top-class away performance, the only player who let us down was McGeady.

Not letting his poo-ness ruin this for me though, absolutely buzzing we went there and not only qualified but won in style. A memorable night for the club that will be fondly remembered for a long time. That result and our performance should make everyone sit up and take notice of us. We have to be considered one of the favourites to win it now and rightfully so.

Sloopy on the ball but ran his socks off pal

 

[davids]

Great night to be a Blue!!

 

[Mouth of Martinez]

Apprantly adult tickets vs the Russians are £15; brilliant if true

As for the performance tonight, and how thin our squads got - I really worried when McCarthy went off but that Bešić ain't half bad is he.

Brilliant team performance, the right side got targeted rightfully and Perisic had Hibbert doing swan lake all first half, McGeay helped with a shift in the second

Up the blues

 

[AndyC]

Best team performance of the season so far tonight, every one of them played well.

Onward to WHL !!

 

[Rook]

Thought Osman done well there

He settled the midfield in the back and had some excellent passes from the back. Probably more suited to this counterattacking stuff than most given the 10 years of playing with Moyez

 

[Ring master]

Great night to be a Blue!!

Every nights a great night to be a Blue,win,lose,draw,moan or been happy lol,we Love everton and i have a sore head now lol they say you make your own luck and boy do we make our own luck lol

Wolfsburg had 38 shots but I'd be willing to bet that a good 30 of them were just random hit and hopes from odd angles on the edge of the box.

We were great. Can't be fecked typing on my phone so I'll have it at that.

Roll on Sunday.

Maybe it was the fact i knew we were already through, but i was never worried about them hurting us, always felt comfortable watching them attack.

That Perisic was brilliant though, we'd destroy all before us with him on one wing and Kev on the other

 

[Eggs]

.....imagine Besic as a kid playing on those park pitches. He was the one coming off covered in mud from head to toe, his poor mother must have had some washing to do. I was chuffed when he came in and I'm even more chuffed now, hope he hasn't got a little hammy near the end.

Thought Hibbo had another decent game tonight, never unduly flustered even when caught out a couple of times. A good squad player still.

 

[Furey1878]

Wolfsburg 0-2 Everton (Lukaku 79', Eto'o 86')

Hoards of Blues going mental in the away end, Wolfsburg's manager (who looks like he's from Who-Ville) grimacing at Martinez.

So very nearly the oracle...

 

[rochdaleblue]

Players and supporters did the club proud tonight. The support the players got was unbelievable. Anyone who doubts how big we are as a club shouldn't have any now. Proud to be blue.

 

[red1]

I can't believe how negative some people on here are.

I'm not a beaming ray of sunshine who sees positives in everything but come on!

We've a scored two brilliant counterattacking goals and kept a clean sheet against one of Europe's most in form teams to top the group.

Smile.

Plus McCarthy was out injured early, Barkley came on late. Naismith, Barry, Baines and Coleman weren't even there. Just too comfortable against a supposedly good German team.

 

[paulbefc]

We were a bit shaky first half and deserved to go 1 nil down, but that's to be expected as Wolfsburg were predictably bang up for it and had home advantage, while we were playing without 3 of our first choice back four and half of our midfield.

Tactically the whole group stage has been excellent, from Martinez. We've gone away, been cautious and prepared to accept draws with weakened sides, before taking teams back to Goodison and schooling them. For a European first-timer, he's doing remarkably well. Another positive indicator of his abilities as a manager.

 

[roydo]

Thing is, you know that Baines Barry and Coleman will be made up that Garbutt, Besic and, yes, Hibbo, did well.
